Chapters
Here they go! And that's the bell, my dear. Let's hear it for Marcus Champagne, representing our game of the night, Golden State ERG. Warrior fans, are we ready for tonight's matchup? Everybody makes some noise! Warriors have brought in Stephen Curry.
Steve Charles came off the bench and gave you guys some pretty good minutes tonight. What has he meant for you? Only 2 games so far.
He's been great.
He's a really impressive player. You know, just the presence in the paint and ability to finish and score in there. And then, you know, he blocks shots, he rebounds, really active, good player. As you said last week, D'Anthony was kind of in a rut for 5 games there. He obviously seemed to emerge tonight. Yeah. What sort of sparked that? Yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean, I, I don't think it's any coincidence that, uh, he's broken out here the last couple games. Um, you know, with Steph's return, there's so much more focus on Steph and that opens up the floor. You know, this happens to everybody during the season. You just have a rough patch. It's like a slump in baseball. And it's a long season, but, you know, what I think with Melt is I'll take the 45 games or whatever he played before this 5-game stretch. You trust your eyes and— Yeah. Majority of the season that he's, he's had, he's been really good. So it was just a little bit of a slump. How nice was it to see Moses get that standing ovation from the crowd? Yeah, it was great. It was really fun to see Moses today. He just got back in town from LA where he had surgery, and all the guys were excited to see him. And then really, it was really fun to see the crowd give him that reaction too.
What do you think of Steph's night tonight?
25 minutes again.
How do you think he looked?
The second game back to me is always harder than the first when you're coming back. The first one you get that adrenaline, and I think the other night was, you know, it was such a high-level game. And tonight I felt like there was a little bit of a letdown for the whole team. We had 11 turnovers in the third quarter. We just completely let our guard down. And, you know, part of him getting back into the game and the flow of things is just feeling, you know, multiple games and recognizing, you know, the decision-making is really going to matter next week, you know, when we're in the play-ins. So he knows he had a little bit of a ragged game handling the ball and that he'll make the necessary adjustments and be better next game.
[FOREIGN LANGUAGE] We're doing great, man. It's obviously great to win. No matter who we're playing, we're trying to build good habits. We had a horrible third quarter, turned the ball over, but great response on defense in the fourth. Guys hit big shots, BP down the stretch, Seth down the stretch, and we got enough stops. So just thankful to get the win and keep building.
You just mentioned your brother Seth. He had 9 timely points. You mentioned the big shot he hit down the stretch. Got to play them for the first time the other night. He kept the jerseys from the other night. Did you get to keep anything like the game ball or something?
What'd you get to keep?
Uh, I got to keep the memories.
Please welcome back to Warriors Ground number 4, Moses Moody!
